On 31 January 2014, Australia Post provided the ACCC with a price notification proposing increase in its ‘ordinary’ letter services to apply from 31 March 2014. These proposals included a 10c increase in the basic postage rate from 60c to 70c. On 20 February 2014, the ACCC decided to not object to the prices relating to notified services that were set out in Australia Post’s price notification.
